Great hotel

Only given the hotel four stars because we only stayed for B&B. Rooms great, very comfortable and very clean only downside was no air conditioning but big windows that could be left open. Will be coming back to stay again.

Our friends found & booked our two night stay here. I realised I had stayed in the Connaught many years ago on a ‘lads’ weekend away & it was good then & still is now I’ve grown up & can appreciate it more. The location is ideal for a short walk into town (despite the hill coming back up) Breakfast, drinks & the staff were all fabulous. Our first nights sleep was disturbed by a random noise in our room 53 which the night porter tried to deal with but unfortunately couldn’t. However we were offered another room the next night, no fuss was made & it was really appreciated by my wife & I, especially as they seemed full. Collapse
Excellent Stay!

I stayed here for three nights with my girlfriend as we were attending an event at the BIC. Our room was spotless, air con worked really well and our balcony was superb. The bed was so comfy and we breakfast in our room which was fantastic. We used the pool etc and they were amazing! It's in an excellent location, only 5 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to the town centre. We will definitely be coming back! Collapse

We returned to this hotel after a very enjoyable stay last year.Public areas are well decorated and kept tidy.Snug little bar with tartan upholstery.Special mention to barmaid Wendy who was very friendly and chatty.Our room was very comfortable and well serviced each day.Breakfast was tasty and varied.There were additional choices such as kippers and smoked haddock for a small charge.My only gripe is that I cannot see the point in having a hot buffet breakfast but then having to be served by one of the waitresses! The menu does state "Go to the buffet and help yourself"!!!This seems a total waste of Human Resources when the waitress could be helping to clear tables at peak times.We did not use the restaurant for dinner but this was simply because of our schedule.The menu looked very impressive.Also never visited the spa or had in room dining.The hotel is less than ten mins from Bournemouth Square and all the shops so ideal for shoppers.Car parking is free which is a bonus.Yes we will return if visiting Bournemouth again.

I have spent 2 lovely nights at the hotel on the bank holiday weekend. It was amazing, the spa is lovely and I’ve met lovely people. The food is excellent and the live saxophone has made my Sunday evening! Highly recommend!
